Even though she does not play professionally, Misty’s athleticism still shows. Clearly, Mksty May-Treanor deserves to be named “the greatest beach volleyball team of all time” alongside with her partner Kerri Walsh. They both have been together from 2003 to 2009. Throughout those years, they have both trained together and fought together to earn the victories they have battled for. It is obvious that Misty-May Treanor greatly deserves the awards and gold medals she has earned by playing the sport she loves the most.
Amy Gunnells Mrs. Wooten AP LANG 2 2 May 2011 She’s the Man What happens when the high school girls’ soccer team is cut? And when the boys’ soccer team won’t let any girls try out? “Everybody knows girls aren’t as fast or strong or athletic as boys,” says the boys’ coach. So the only thing left to do is to prove them wrong by beating them. In the movie, “She’s the Man,” Viola Hastings pretends to be her brother, Sebastion, while he is actually in London.
Squeaky is the main character in Toni Cade Bambara’s story, “Raymond’s Run.” She is the character I will be analyzing. She changes from being an insecure, arrogant fighter to a respectful, confident girl. The reason she changes is because she watches her brother run his first race and she realizes that he’s a good runner. At the beginning of the story, Squeaky is tough and arrogant. She says to her enemy, Gretchen, “I win cause I’m the best” (23).
The girls were executing every play to perfection. We won the game, silencing a team of seniors who had taunted us for weeks before the game. Almost sweeter than our decisive win, I realized, was the fact that we were celebrating our win as a group of close friends, many of whom we had just made a few short months
His hardships were his childhood, isolation, and competition. First of all, Ender became a great leader because of his childhood bullies. Ender beating up Stilson ended his bullying on Earth. Ender realized, “I have to win this now, and for all time, or I’ll fight it every day and it will get worse and worse.” Ender was planning ahead for the future which is a trait that a great leader needs. In addition.
During his fights against his peers, he understands that he has to win thoroughly. When he fought the adults, he did not understand the adults, causing him to lose. Finally, he defeats the buggers despite being outnumbered because the humans are a species that the buggers do not understand. Understanding is the key to being successful. Ender understands before making an insightful decision in order to be
Although we liked that you did this, your actions caused a riot in Rue’s district and we had not other choice but to put down a couple of rioters. In the future remember the Capitol is always watching and listening. All in all, I think you did a marvelous job at winning The Hunger Games. You had some hard times, but you pulled through it all. Now you get to live the good life with you and your family.
Bullying, however, is an important factor that forces many children to exceed their expectations because they “[have] no choice but to persevere and to succeed” (“Love Letter To My Bully”). Colonel Graff, a teacher at Battle School, has used this principle on a young Ender Wiggin, to make him one of the best child soldiers that mankind has ever had. He “isolated Ender to make him struggle. To make him prove...that he was far better than everyone
A refreshing and new premise for YA but a tragically real situation for some, Change of Heart throws into question the value of life as a teenager. The natural mindset is invincibility but what happens when a teen goes from running across a soccer field to being high on a heart transplant list less than a month later? Though there have been other heart transplant books, this one is unique both in premise and execution. Emmi is a well balanced character at the start, having some teenage moments but overall, motivated and determined. Her relationship with her parents is good more often than not and her love of soccer apparent.
This doesn't make Bottom a good actor, even though Bottom continually acts out the parts of the others, thinking he can act out every scene solo.

Bottom is a complete extraovert, bossy, energetic and quite annoying.
